[edit] He wants to share his secret (link)
[edit] 09 March 2008 - 10.24 PM
- So much happened this weekend, I barely know where to start. I want to tell you everything. So I made a list of all the important stuff last night while I couldn't sleep. Here it is.
- 1. I made it safely to Cardiff. Customs and immigration didn’t even blink at my new passport. (Thank you Kai!!) And I didn’t feel one bit guilty. I have no idea who I am. So for all I know, I really could be "Ariadne Mascotte" from Montreal, Canada...
- 2. I found the society house, and guess what? Mr. Hunt wasn't a guest speaker. He has an office there. It turns out that he has an author's fellowship, and the society is sponsoring his book research.
- 3. So naturally, instead of listening to the lecture, I snuck into his office. Wouldn't you have?
- 4. I got caught. By Mr. Hunt. I’m no spy. But I also don’t give up easily.
- 5. I made him look at my tattoo. I begged him for help. And you know what? He's not a bad guy. I could sense it. I could see it in his eyes. He WANTED to help. But something was holding him back.
- 6. I promised I would leave him alone forever if he would give me 10 minutes of his attention. He agreed, so I got him to sit down at his computer. I showed him your emails, I showed him our blogs, I told him everything we know so far about who woke up where, and when.
- Here's the amazing thing. Once he saw all the evidence, there was no turning back for him. I guess that’s what it really means to be an investigator at heart. It obviously triggered something in his brain, like a spark... everything I showed him was a clue, and he couldn’t ignore it.
- But obviously he was torn. He said he needed to sleep on it, and that I should come back the next day.
- 7. So I did. I crashed a hostel, and I came back. But he wasn’t there.
- I know, you could have predicted that.
- But he didn't stand me up completely. He left a note for me.
- I’ll let you read it for yourself. When you do, I think you’ll know exactly what to do.
- Just remember. PLEASE. I can’t do this alone.
- I need your help.
- "Dear Ariadne,
- This will sound very strange. But I think I have been waiting my entire life to meet you.
- I have spent decades preparing for this moment. But before we go forward, I need to be sure.
- I thought I met someone like you years ago. I though the moment has arrived. But I was wrong. And I believe that my mistake caused a great deal of suffering, countless tragedies that I can never undo.
- If I’m wrong again, if you and your friends aren’t the six I have been waiting for, then we may once again unleash a torrent of terrifying consequences.
- That is something my conscience simply cannot bear.
- If we are to join forces, then I must know for sure that you are the six, and I must know for sure that we have the resources we need. Even if you are the six, I fear that six is not enough.
- It will take legions to trovu la ringon perditan. And we will need help from virtually every populated square of the earth.
- Ariadne, I know you have many people who want to help you. I am willing to take the risk of sharing with you, and with them, the secret I have been keeping.
- If the time has come, then you and your friends perhaps can help me peek inside a box that I have kept closed for years -- for fear of what it might contain.
- I will prepare for you a podcast that explains everything. But I won’t post it in my series. I will send you, and any friends who pledge that they are willing to keep the secret, a link to the podcast as soon as it is ready.
- Until we know for sure, it is best that we not meet again face to face.
- I don’t want to let my emotions cloud my judgment.
- Sincerely yours,
- Eli Hunt"
